Solution

Let's tackle the questions from the image you uploaded.

For problems 33 to 42:

They involve finding linear equations based on given conditions, points, or graphs.

Starting with question 33:

You are asked to find a linear equation where:

  • f(5)=4f(-5) = -4
  • f(5)=2f(5) = 2

Using the two-point form of a line, the formula for a line through two points (x1,y1)(x_1, y_1) and (x2,y2)(x_2, y_2) is: yy1=y2y1x2x1(xx1)y - y_1 = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}(x - x_1)

The two points based on the function values are:

  • (5,4)(-5, -4)
  • (5,2)(5, 2)

The slope (mm) is calculated as: m=2(4)5(5)=2+45+5=610=0.6m = \frac{2 - (-4)}{5 - (-5)} = \frac{2 + 4}{5 + 5} = \frac{6}{10} = 0.6

Using the point-slope form: y(4)=0.6(x(5))y - (-4) = 0.6(x - (-5)) Simplify: y+4=0.6(x+5)y + 4 = 0.6(x + 5) y+4=0.6x+3y + 4 = 0.6x + 3 y=0.6x1y = 0.6x - 1

Thus, the equation for 33 is: y=0.6x1y = 0.6x - 1

For 41 (Graph):

This involves finding the equation of the line shown on the graph.

  • The line passes through points (4,3)(-4, -3) and (4,3)(4, 3).

Using the same method (slope formula): m=3(3)4(4)=3+34+4=68=0.75m = \frac{3 - (-3)}{4 - (-4)} = \frac{3 + 3}{4 + 4} = \frac{6}{8} = 0.75

Using the point-slope form with the point (4,3)(-4, -3): y(3)=0.75(x(4))y - (-3) = 0.75(x - (-4)) Simplify: y+3=0.75(x+4)y + 3 = 0.75(x + 4) y+3=0.75x+3y + 3 = 0.75x + 3 y=0.75xy = 0.75x

Thus, the equation for 41 is: y=0.75xy = 0.75x

Would you like me to continue solving the rest, or clarify any specific questions? Here are some relative questions:

  1. How is the slope calculated between two points?
  2. What is the point-slope form of a linear equation?
  3. How can you verify a point lies on a given line?
  4. What does it mean when the slope of a line is positive or negative?
  5. Can you describe the steps to graph a linear equation given its slope and a point?

Tip: Always simplify the slope before plugging it into the point-slope form to avoid calculation errors.
